Raymond PriorHOST
there's a bit of an obligation from many of the players to try to play the new stuff because it's part of the branding but also there's a transition with that it's you're right there's probably two or three events per year where new equipment comes out that is available to the pros and it is like monday tuesday wednesday is just an absolute circus is probably the best way to describe
Stephen SweeneyGUEST
yeah yeah and Look, I understand the tour reps are supposed to try hard to do their job and they're trying their best because they're reporting to a guy in Carlsbad that they got X amount of this new product in play.
Stephen SweeneyGUEST
And then I'm on the other side going like, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Stephen SweeneyGUEST
Like, what are we doing here? You're one of the best putters on the planet.
9 MINS LATER
Stephen SweeneyGUEST
Boom.
Stephen SweeneyGUEST
Let's move to speed.
Stephen SweeneyGUEST
Can you putt from 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 feet? And can you get the golf balls to get inside a distance of X number of feet? Can you do that uphill? Can you do that downhill? And then, you know, for the guys that do Aimpoint, it's, okay, can you take three minutes? And I'll generally have marked out the slopes on the greens, where like you have a zero, one, two, three.
Stephen SweeneyGUEST
Go over, spend two, three minutes, quality, focus, calibrating your feet.
Nick Tauro Jr.HOST
I was very excited when Odette agreed to join me for this conversation.
Nick Tauro Jr.HOST
And it coincided with the recent release of a book of writing called Isn't X Beautiful? And so this book explores a sort of an autobiographical journey through her memories and image making and also the role of X, the letter X in photography.
Nick Tauro Jr.HOST
Just a really interesting sort of angle to come at things and write about photography in general.
Nick Tauro Jr.HOST
We get into all of that and more in this conversation.
33 MINS LATER
Nick Tauro Jr.HOST
And Thomas Barrow, you know, I'm here in Albuquerque and like this, you know, this was his terrain.
Nick Tauro Jr.HOST
I remember when I first came across his work and those and maybe this is the segue to your book, your current book.
Nick Tauro Jr.HOST
But like like who would intentionally scratch X's in their photos? You know, like that to me was like, you know, like.
Nick Tauro Jr.HOST
Why would you do that? And I was immediately drawn to somebody who had, you know, like it undermined all those things that I was talking about earlier, this sort of like, you know, this the sanctity of a negative thing.
Cindy HovingtonHOST
That's the part that you're going to try to fix and do it by creating your field notes to then create tiny experiments.
Cindy HovingtonHOST
And the tiny experiments are going to be about manipulating or shifting, changing some of these variables that you noticed, right? So Okay, I've noticed X, Y, Z.
Cindy HovingtonHOST
Great.
Cindy HovingtonHOST
Let's try to make dinner time something that connects us.
Cindy HovingtonHOST
And then you allow yourself to be really stressed.
Cindy HovingtonHOST
I have a lot of renovations going on in the house.
Cindy HovingtonHOST
Financially, I'm really nervous about X, Y, Z.
Cindy HovingtonHOST
Write it down.
Patricia WilkinsGUEST
It could have been longer.
Patricia WilkinsGUEST
But I remember one little girl, we were teaching the alphabet and she kept saying it in my ears wrong because she kept saying X, Y, Z, X, Y, Z.
Patricia WilkinsGUEST
And I kept going, it's X, Y, Z.
Patricia WilkinsGUEST
Z.
Patricia WilkinsGUEST
And all the other kids were going Z, Z.
DHOST
So before I get started, you guys have to know this.
DHOST
you're always gonna be given three key components of information, right? And then you're gonna be solving for X.
DHOST
So you're gonna, when you set up your problem, you're gonna have three out of the four that you need.
DHOST
And the fourth one that you don't have, that is your X.
DHOST
So let's start with the two that are connected.
DHOST
Look at this.
DHOST
Am I gonna put my 50 milligrams on top or on the bottom? I'm gonna put it on top because I have milligrams up here and my units have to match.
DHOST
So I'm gonna put 50. milligrams, milligrams, milligrams.
Dave JonesHOST
So, and not only that, things always showed up.
Dave JonesHOST
You requested X, you got X.
Dave JonesHOST
There was never a shortage.
Dave JonesHOST
There was never a mismatch.
Kurt von AhnenHOST
Right.
Kurt von AhnenHOST
Like, oh, well, Kurt said he was going to do X, Y and Z.
Kurt von AhnenHOST
So I'll try X, Y and Z.
Kurt von AhnenHOST
Right.
Kurt von AhnenHOST
So from our standpoint, we started charging a five hundred dollar discovery fee.
Kurt von AhnenHOST
Yeah.
Kurt von AhnenHOST
It's super interesting because I'm still amazed at how much AI gets wrong.
Kurt von AhnenHOST
I've quoted clients and I've had clients come back and go, well, I asked ChatGPT and it said that for that much money, I should expect X, Y, and Z.
DanHOST
What are they
JohnHOST
going to do for X? You know, Xavier or...
DanHOST
They don't do that.
JohnHOST
They do.
JohnHOST
What, worldwide? I think so.
JohnHOST
I think, like, meteorologists worldwide have a system.
DanHOST
They're going to run out of names beginning with X pretty quick, aren't they?
JohnHOST
Well, I don't know.
Justin RisingerGUEST
But you can get other setups, and they do have even some walkers you come with, and I think you could buy them, but there's an extra attachment that almost adds a little shorter blade in there that helps chop them up while you're doing the deck.
Justin RisingerGUEST
Walker actually offers an X-blade system for them.
Justin RisingerGUEST
So I believe so.
Justin RisingerGUEST
I know Ballard doesn't, doesn't offer any blade stuff for Walker cause they're very specific cause they have sheer pins on the blades, um, because they're gear driven.
14 MINS LATER
Justin RisingerGUEST
right absolutely yeah they're they're pretty awesome and um What I have right now, I tried the 600 just on that one demo day.
Justin RisingerGUEST
Now I have the 800.
Justin RisingerGUEST
It's the V8 54 XP.
Justin RisingerGUEST
So it's kind of the middle model in the 800 series.
Evan RothmanGUEST
In addition to staff work, I was freelancing for the New York Times and Esquire and GQ, not like long features often.
Evan RothmanGUEST
I had a long travel piece in New York Times, which I was very proud of, and I thought, oh, well, that's going to be the next step, and I'm going to do X, Y, and Z.
Evan RothmanGUEST
But as my career evolved, I ended up being more of an editor and more of a utility player instruction, travel stories, front of book stories, you know, you had to be able to do everything.
Evan RothmanGUEST
And I think what happened is that I got less egocentric about it.
Evan RothmanGUEST
You know, it was nice to see my name in various places, but I started to realize that I was the same writer, no matter where my work was showing up.
Evan RothmanGUEST
And I think once I did that, it helped me sort of just become the writer that I am to not worry so much about is it appearing in X or Y because I'm, eventually you realize like I'm the same writer or you should be.
Evan RothmanGUEST
I mean, sometimes you wanna, be a little bit of a, you know, ventriloquist and kind of, you know, there's certain, you want to sound like this publication a little bit.
Evan RothmanGUEST
And there's an element of that, but eventually you realize that you kind of are who you are.
